I went to an underwater video clinic on 8/5/07. Filming credit goes to Emerald City Multisport which put on the clinic at Samena Pool in Bellevue, WA. They did me a favor and recorded both free and fly instead of just free.
I've uploaded some excerpts to google video, and I'm interested in any critiques. One thing they said is I seem to be creating a lot of bubbles on entry on free.

I just looked at your stroke again. It looks like you are actually droping your elbow during the catch phase. Elbow preceeds the hand and forearm not good.
One of my old coaches told me I do this. I'm guessing from the video that you mean the hand and elbow touch the water at the same time.
If I'm right, why is this an issue and how do you fix it?:dunno:
